Yes, I verified in the kernel logs (/var/log/kern.log--thanks for that tip) : I was using 2.6.32-39 before; after the upgrade I'm using 2.6.32-39squeeze1. So I don't know why there has been an improvement in the kernel driver. Maybe the proprietary module put the card in a more useable/improved state. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
